The Peugeot 9X8 is a hybrid-powered race car that is designed to compete in the Le Mans Hypercar class, which is the top tier of endurance racing. The car is powered by a 2.6-liter twin-turbo V6 engine combined with an electric motor, which together produces over 670 horsepower. The car also features an innovative four-wheel-drive system that allows for independent power delivery to each wheel.
The exterior of the Peugeot 9X8 is designed with aerodynamics in mind, with a distinctive nose and a large rear wing to provide downforce. The car also features a unique cockpit design, with a wraparound windshield that extends over the top of the driver's head to improve visibility.
